Right.
When we are born again, the Holy Spirit come to live with us.
When we are baptized,,the Holy Spirit is indwelt with us.
Regarding full immersion water baptism, can you supply the passages from Scripture that confirms what you wrote

You receive the Holy Spirit when you are born again. This happens prior to baptism.
Then you're going to have to explain

Acts 2:38
38Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:38 a definite 100% as was then required whenever possible
Then later
1 Cor 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize - how do YOU explain that ?
You agree re Acts 2:38

If you post 1 Cor 1:17 I'll be happy to reply to it.
I don't have the NT memorized as yet.
